What else can I help you with?
In the plasma membrane why is the nonpolar attracted when opposites are supposed to attract ie polar and nonpolar?
I can only answer the second part of your question. As far as attraction goes, polar is not the opposite of nonpolar. Polar in itself has two opposites: positive and negative. Those two are the opposites that attract; a positive region of a polar molecule is attracted to the negative region of another polar molecule.
What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose, as the tails are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Glucose is hydrophilic and would not be compatible with the hydrophobic environment created by the fatty acid tails.
Is the cholesterol located between the fatty acid chains polar or nonpolar?
The Cholesterol molecule consists of four planar rings - comprised from 19 carbons - and a side-chain of another 8 carbons and only hydrogens throughout: except at one end is one lone -O- negative 1. That is one throughly non-polar molecule. By the way the planar, non-polar, interior ends of the nucleotide bases make for a totally non-polar interior of the DNA double helix!
Is iodine polar or non polar?
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?
Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar
What are the properties of a molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar?
A molecule that is both hydrophobic and polar has a nonpolar region that repels water (hydrophobic) and a polar region that interacts with water (polar). This unique combination of properties allows the molecule to dissolve in both water and nonpolar solvents.
What is a molecule called when it has a polar and non polar region?
A molecule with a polar and nonpolar region is called amphiphilic or amphipathic. This allows it to interact with both polar and nonpolar substances, making it useful in various biological and chemical processes.
Are fatty acids polar or nonpolar?
Fatty acids are nonpolar.
Is the molecule co polar or nonpolar?
The molecule is nonpolar.
Is an polar molecule an ion?
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
Is methyl a polar or nonpolar molecule?
Methyl is a nonpolar molecule.
